Chapter 361: Crossing the Tipping Nings

The time goes back to 3 days ago, which was August 10, 290 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Army.

Within the Luolin Empire, the Tipping Nine Mountains.

…

"Brother! I want to take a bath!"

Alan's dissatisfied screams resounded throughout Su Cheng's tent.

"Alan... just bear with it..." Su Cheng looked helplessly at the disheveled Alan in front of him.

"I can't bear it anymore!" Alan's voice was filled with tears. "It's been 9 days since I followed you to climb the Tianning Mountains! I haven't taken a shower for 9 days! Many places on my body are itchy!”

"It's not just you who hasn't showered in nine days, all of us haven't showered either."

Su Cheng smiled bitterly and pointed at himself, who was as unkempt as Alan, and then nuzzled his chin at Deng Jiaer, who was sitting obediently and was also dirty.

"Alan..." Deng Jiaer also began to comfort Alan with Su Cheng at this time, "Please bear with it a little longer. In a few days we will successfully cross the Tipping Mountains and reach the Feihai Plain. Then You can take a good bath then.”

"Well..." Alan looked like he was about to cry, "I'm so obsessed... Why do I have to follow you over the mountains... If I had known, I would have stayed in the camp outside Mayin City, following you. The soldiers there are carrying out the 'fight to deceive the enemy' together..."

Looking at Alan who was now dirty and seemed to be about to cry, Su Cheng smiled helplessly, raised his hand and rubbed Alan's little head:

"Okay, just bear with me for a while. I promise you that I will give you more pocket money when I get back to Pendragon. Okay, go to sleep now. We have to get up early tomorrow morning and continue climbing the mountain."

"snort."

After hearing what Su Cheng said, Alan's expression softened slightly. After snorting, he climbed onto the bed that had been made for a long time. As soon as he turned over, he fell asleep almost immediately, with the thin sheet covering his body. The quilt undulates rhythmically.

Looking at Alan who fell asleep immediately, Su Cheng smiled helplessly again, then held the knight's sword on his left waist, turned and walked out of the tent.

Deng Jiaer immediately followed suit and followed Su Cheng out of the camp.

It was a sunny day tonight, and the bright moonlight was pouring into the valley where they were now.

Su Cheng, who walked out of his coach's camp, looked at the Eastern Route Army camp stationed in the valley under the moonlight.

This is a very open valley surrounded by mountains. Su Cheng has never seen such a suitable place for a large army to camp since he led the Eastern Route Army to cross the Tipping Mountains.

There are so many mountains in the Tippenning Mountains that it is not easy to find such an open flat area.

"Deng Jia'er..." Su Cheng smiled bitterly and said to Deng Jia'er who was following him, "It's much more difficult to cross the Tipping Mountains than I thought..."

Although the Tipping Mountains can be considered a relatively "petite" type among many mountain ranges, and the terrain is not high and complex, they are still mountains after all.

Su Cheng and the others were lucky to find a suitable road when crossing the Tippenning Mountains. However, it was Su Cheng's normal situation to find a way and have to make their own way.

There are basically no good roads to take! So far, the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Route Army have been cutting rocks, cutting down trees, mowing grass and cutting bamboo, and just relying on the swords and axes in their hands to carve out a road!

Having to open the road manually is not the hardest part of crossing the Tippenning Mountains.

The most painful thing is that there are so many "small animals" in the mountains!

For the soldiers of the Eastern Route Army, basically every day someone would be bitten or even die of poisoning from all kinds of poisonous mosquitoes, giant ants, strange scorpions, centipedes, leeches, and poisonous snakes.

Now, including Su Cheng, Willie and other knights, the 30,000-strong army responsible for crossing the Tippenning Mountains from top to bottom, whether they are knights or ordinary soldiers, feel sick when they think of these unpredictable and extremely disgusting "little animals" Scalp numbness.

Many people even couldn't sleep well, for fear that these "little animals" would sneak into the tents during the night.

Climb into your bed.

Therefore, Su Cheng had to send more manpower to guard the night, not only to guard against possible pursuit by Luo Lin's army, but also to guard against these extremely disgusting "little animals".

Fortunately, there are no large ferocious beasts such as tigers and cheetahs in the Tippenning Mountains, which can be considered a blessing in misfortune.

After hearing Su Cheng's complaint, Deng Jiaer also smiled bitterly, and then continued:

"No matter how hard it is, we have to keep climbing. After all, this is the only way we can reach Feihai Plain the fastest."

Having said this, Deng Jia paused for a moment and then continued:

"Fortunately, we have now crossed over the Tippenning Mountains and arrived at the southwest side of the Tippenning Mountains. The time it takes to cross the Tippenning Mountains is much less than we expected."

Having said this, Deng Jiaer suddenly let out a few proud laughs.

"Luo Xie and Ou Ren, who are still guarding Mayin City, may not have noticed that our Eastern Route Army has left until now, right? Who said that if you want to go to Feihai Plain, you must pass through Mayin City? ?”

After hearing what Deng Jiaer said, Su Cheng couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an intriguing smile.

Ten days ago - that night on August 1st, Alan's words, "Can we only go to Feihai Plain through Mayin City?" Su Cheng was awakened.

Su Cheng realized: Yes! Can we only go to Feihai Plain through Mayin City?

Su Cheng, who was awakened by Alan's words, finally realized that everyone, including him, had fallen into a blind spot.

Everyone, including Su Cheng, accidentally fell into a blind spot in thinking.

Mayin City is located on the transportation artery leading to Feihai Plain, so if Su Cheng leads the Eastern Route Army to follow this transportation artery to Feihai Plain, he must pass through Mayin City, which is firmly guarded by the enemy. Just fine.

Everyone, including Su Cheng, fell into this overwhelming predicament.

Su Cheng and others have been thinking about how to capture Mayin City, and then pass through Mayin City and follow this flat road to Feihai Plain.

Su Cheng and others have been thinking about this problem all the time, so much so that in the end they were unable to get out of this quagmire-like problem.

Su Cheng, who was awakened by Alan's words, finally realized at that moment:

Yes, my current goal is to [go to Feihai Plain], not [to capture Mayin City]! The question I should be thinking about should not be how to capture Mayin City, but how to get to Feihai Plain! As long as we can successfully reach the Feihai Plain, it doesn't matter whether Mayin City is captured or not!

Because from the location of the East Route Army at that time, if you wanted to go to the Feihai Plain, there was only this flat road that you could take. So Su Cheng himself was obsessed with thinking about how to capture Mayin City and then take this road. Avenue.

And at that moment, Su Cheng also realized:

Why should I always insist on going to Feihai Plain through this flat road? Can't I take another path?

After thinking about this, Su Cheng aimed at the Tippinning Mountains, an east-west mountain range located on the west side of Mayin City.

The Feihai Plain is located 200 miles southwest of the Tipping Mountains.

In other words, as long as you cross the Tipping Mountains, come to the southwest side of the Tipping Mountains, and then walk another 200 miles, you can reach the Feihai Plain!

Su Cheng, who was awakened by Alan's words and got out of his blind spot, immediately deployed the combat plan of "Crossing the Tipping Mountains".

First of all, because they had to cross the Tipping Mountains, the cavalry's horses were simply unable to do such a difficult task, so Su Cheng left all the cavalry, wounded soldiers, and part of the infantry here, with only 30,000 soldiers. The army carried out this "mountain-climbing operation".

And these soldiers who stayed outside Mayin City were not without tasks.

The mission of these soldiers who stayed outside Mayin City was to carry out "deception operations". They were responsible for producing a large amount of cooking smoke on time every day to mislead and deceive the Luo Lin army in Mayin City.

The defenders in the city were led to believe that the entire Eastern Route Army was still outside Mayin City, but they did not attack the city due to some unknown reasons.

Through "fighting to bully the enemy", Luo Xie and Ou Ren relaxed their vigilance, making them completely unaware that all the large Eastern Route Army troops outside the city had left.

In order to achieve the best "deception effect", Su Cheng left a large amount of military rations in the camp outside Mayin City, and asked the soldiers who were performing "deception operations" to cook these ingredients and make real food. The smoke from the kitchen to deceive the defenders of Mayin City.

It has to be said that the "fighting to bully the enemy" formulated by Su Cheng can be said to be extremely wasteful.

To create the illusion that the defenders in Mayin City still think that 40,000 Eastern Route Army troops are still outside Mayin City by producing a large amount of cooking smoke, how many ingredients must be burned to achieve this effect?

However, although this operation is quite wasteful and will waste a lot of food, it will be worth it if we can successfully deceive the defenders in Mayin City and make them think that the entire Eastern Route Army is still outside Mayin City. .

Su Cheng left three new knights behind, and asked them to take charge of commanding the thousands of soldiers who stayed outside Mayin City to carry out this "deception operation", while Su Cheng personally led all the remaining knights, and the three The army of ten thousand crossed the Tipping Mountains, took this road that cannot be called a "road", bypassed Mayin City, and headed straight for the Feihai Plain!

It has been 9 days since we officially set off to climb the mountain on the morning of August 2nd.

Although the nine-day journey over the mountain was extremely difficult and dangerous, and many soldiers even died during the process, Su Cheng and the knights and soldiers under his command survived in the end!

Now, Su Cheng has successfully climbed from the northeast to the southwest of the Tipping Mountains.

It is already very close to the Feihai Plain, which is 200 miles southwest of the Tippenning Mountains!

"We're almost there... Feihai Plain... I don't know how the battle is going at Feihai now... I wonder if Alyssa and the others are okay now..." Su looked at the military tents around him. Cheng murmured, "My troops and I will definitely be able to catch up!"

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, his hands that were naturally hanging on both sides of his body slowly clenched.
